The guided-missile destroyer Halsey will return to its homeport of San Diego on March 14, completing a deployment that began last September, the Navy says. The warship spent much of its deployment operating with the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group. Another San Diego-based ship, the cruiser Cape St. George, also was assigned to the Lincoln.

The Halsey is named in honor of late William Frederick ''Bull'' Halsey, Jr., former commander of the Navy's Third Fleet, and one of the most distinguished figures in World War II. He is especially famous for destroying Japanese warships during the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
